Ayed Morrar, an unlikely community organiser, unites Palestinians from all political factions to save his village from destruction by Israel's Separation Barrier.

Victory seems improbable until his 15-year-old daughter, Iltezam, launches a women's contingent that quickly moves to the frontlines.

Struggling side by side, father and daughter unleash an inspiring yet little-known movement in the Occupied Palestinian Territories that is still gaining ground today.

An action-filled documentary chronicling this movement from its infancy, BUDRUS shines a light on people who choose nonviolence to confront a threat to their way of life.
